Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice

Instructions

  1. Combine wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the pumpkin purée and nut butter until smooth and well blended.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, sweetener, and pumpkin spice until the mixture is evenly combined and sticky enough to hold shape.
  3. Form bites: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Chill: Place the formed bites on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  5. Serve and store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • You can substitute nut butter with seed butter for a nut-free version.
  • Adjust sweetness according to taste preference or dietary needs.
  • Add mix-ins such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.
  • For a firmer texture, add more oats or chill longer before serving.
  • These bites are perfect for meal prep and make a great portable snack.
